Use newspaper concepts to help students integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines as they write about current events and the lives of others in an unbiased and accurate way. This book was created by preservice teachers to teach upper elementary students (grades 3-5) newspaper concepts, journalism, and how to write newspaper articles. Based on the Newspaper in Education program - a cooperative venture between newspaper publishers and schools that offers newspaper activities to teach reading and contents skills and strategies - the book takes the concept further and incorporates a focus on writing. Your students will learn about the organizational structure of news stories; writing different types of news articles; using quotes and figurative language; interviewing; and revising, editing, and composing a newspaper. As you go through this book, you'll enjoy the newspaper look of its pages, the informal tone of its language, and its rich offering of lesson plans, activities, sample worksheets, terms, and resource lists that you and your students can use to create your own classroom newspaper.
